Well, I think the main scenes to be edited - the chase and waterfall sequences - have now been covered for the most part.
Right now I'm doing some extensive digital manipulation on the ants/fight-sequence, not only adding digital blood, spit and sweat, but also changing some obviously pulled punches (or mis-timed reactions to punches) to clear hits. It looks a LOT more violent that way... I'll post some clips later. I'm still unsure about the sound effects... some of them are the classic Indy-hit-sounds, which could also be heard in the old movies, but they sound "movie-like", taking a bit of the gritty violence away again.
About the warehouse... I've tried messing with the "Damn, I thought that was closer..."-part, basically leaving in the "Damn..." and then having Indy look at the soldier immediately.What can I say... there's so much movement and change in lighting between those moments, that a seamless blend/morph inbetween is virtually impossible. I'll keep trying though.
And right now I don't see a way to fix the continuity error with Mac's arms either, other than reframing that shot and getting rid of him completely (and losing resolution on the 1080p version).
By the way, from now on I'm doing all my digital changes on the 1080p version, so those will have the best quality possible for everybody's edits. I only have to re-do the match-moving of the two photo-replacement shots (I've only done the first one anyway).
